Yáñez’s departure from the institution will take place after Carabinero Day, which will take place this Saturday, April 27, and would be on May 3.
Camila Vallejo, Minister Spokesperson for the Government, stated that General Director Ricardo Yáñez will leave Carabineros to face its formalization, which will take place on May 7, thus following the so-called “Tohá criterion.”
Along these lines, Yáñez’s departure from the institution will take place after Carabinero Day, which will take place this Saturday, April 27, and would be on May 3.
In an interview with MegaNoticias, spokesperson Vallejo expressed that “We have a political criterion, not a procedural one, that is independent of the name or the authority.”
“The criterion that has been publicly called the Tohá criterion or doctrine basically It is a political definition of the Government that seeks not to distract key institutions, in this case for security, in the face of possible formalizations or formalization processes of those who are in charge of these institutions,” argued the representative of La Moneda.
Camila Vallejo made it clear that this criterion is not specifically set by the process that General Director Ricardo Yáñez must face.
“It is rather a political criterion to say independent of the case, independent of what we think about the formalization, independent of how it ends, even, or how precautionary measures are applied or not, is a distraction to the functioning of key institutions, that their main authority, the person in charge and, in addition, his appointment and removal depends on the President of the Republic, to continue in his functions,” he explained.
Regarding the departure of Ricardo Yáñez, the Government spokesperson said that “in this we did not want to go into whether this is just before or during. The issue is that the formalization process, the political moment of formalization, generates a risk to the proper functioning of the institution, in this case, the Carabineros.”
“Obviously, the criterion applies to formalization scenarios and the criterion is that they leave their positions, therefore, that answers your question. Now, you will know the exact moment when we decide to communicate it. “We are not going to advance the date of that scenario for now,” he stated.
